I like... Chet Atkins, Django Reinhardt, the musical Chess, the soundtrack to 'Kalnayak', Farse, Polysics, Prodigy, squarepusher, Girls Aloud, Clearlake, Tinariwen, baby panda bears, Elvis Presley, Lhasa de Sela, Salt n Pepa, Johnny Flynn, the Knife, Daniel Licht, Tha Mexakinz, Ila Arun, Patrick Wolf, PJ Harvey, Beck, Faure, the Bloodhound gang, Diana Ross, ....
This is the sound of another world, a lo-fi sighing, almost dangerous world. It is the sound of a glass world, a mirror world about to shatter from vibrations and whispers. It is a mix of the scary gypsy queen and the fragile fairy princess.
These are songs stolen shy from reflections upon nervous water.
These are magic chants, revealing what hides beneath the dreaming lovers eyelids.
These are gently twisted Pop songs, they rumble and roll using Folk as a mere departure point
And in ‘make me happy’ lies the secret of Bilkis, tunes that drift by the soul, then dart sideways , sinking sneaking in, and when u go to sleep tonight dear listener
The soundtrack to this other world shall be playing.

’unlike anything else I’ve listened to this month. There’s a kind of devil may care attitude at work here where tracks stop when you think they will carry on, where vocals harmonies spiral in all sorts of directions...’ shane blanchard , tasty fanzine
’there is a disguised haunting quality in her low-key folk and expert
harmonics. A sharp balance of ukulele pluck, pinpoint guitar strum,
elementary percussion and programmed sounds complement the gorgeous vocal soak’ - Vanity project Issue 14
’on one level the songs can be admired for their intuitive craftsmanship and self-awareness but can also flow with a hypnotic grace that sprinkles some magic to set the hairs on end’ - Whisperin and Hollerin
